Luther was born June 1, 1977 in Beaufort County, the son of Luther Gary Lewis and Dorothy Alligood Lewis. He had a heart of gold along with a great love for animals, which a lot of them became his pets. Luther had a strong love for his family and enjoyed nothing better than playing and spending time with his nephews and niece. When it came to work, he was a pure logger at heart, as was his family’s long tradition of the logging industry, and though it was hard work, he never gave up on wanting the continue what his family had done for decades. He will be truly missed by his family and all that knew him.
